However, it was said that Jia Xichun drew the picture of the blue and white dinosaur of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty for Jia Cong overnight, and ordered it to be sent to Lixiangyuan early the next morning. Jia Cong was overjoyed when he saw it, and ordered someone to reward him with ten taels of silver for the painting. Kowtowed happily into the painting. Jia Cong then sat in the room and waited, and after a while, Xie Whale came, and his face was ten times haggard compared to yesterday.

Red. The sleeves came up with tea, and the two drank tea silently. After a long time, Xie Whale suddenly said, "I heard Ling Zun's poem." ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? Which one? "How did I not know he could write poetry?

Xie Whale said: "Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband." ”

"Eh, this ......" Jia Cong was embarrassed and pretended to be stupid, "Oh, I was a little arrogant that year, and I leaked it out when I was fighting with people in the Hanlin Academy." ”

Xie Whale sighed: "You're right, I'm really not as good as Ling Zun." ”

Jia Cong said hypocritically: "Is the situation different, what is there to compare." Hurriedly bypassing the topic, "Your third brother and sister have been recruited?" ”

Xie Whale nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The first time she entered the palace, the nobleman told her that there were rumors in the palace that because she had the blue and white dinosaur in her hand, she got the dragon child; Several mothers hinted that if she offered it, she could be promoted. She really didn't. At that time, my third brother only said that there was no convenience. Last time, the third brother and sister entered the palace again, and the nobleman was frightened and said, Zhou Guiren ordered her to hand over this thing, otherwise she would not let go of the dragon in her belly. ”

Jia Congqi said: "She is generally a nobleman, why doesn't she let others go?" People are still pregnant with dragon seeds. ”

Xie Whale sighed: "According to the day, when our nobleman got a child, it was not long after Zhou Guiren slipped a tire. Zhou Guiren didn't know where to learn that the blue-and-white dinosaur could lead the fetus in the womb of others to his womb. ”

Jia Cong shuddered: "This ...... It's outrageous, right, she believes it? Or did she guess it? ”

Xie Whale shook his head: "How do we know." ”

Jia Cong hid his face and was speechless, and said for a long time: "The Zhou family is just an ordinary third-grade official, is the Zhou nobleman very favored?" Where did you get the confidence to say such arrogant words? There's no way to compare with your family. ”

Xie Whale hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Lord Zhou Yan...... Although the official rank is not large, he is a saint's confidant. ”

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, always feeling that something was wrong and couldn't figure it out for a while, so he put it down first. After thinking for a moment, he said: "This is a useful slander, much more useful than the Qingming Yunyun in the palace, the person who released this is really smart." If that thing has the effect of snatching children, maybe how many women in the palace will think that Ling Mei's son is taking them. He looked at Xie Whale again and said, "Are you still in a hurry to find Third Brother Ling?" ”

Xie Whale smiled bitterly: "It's always a family." ”

Jia Cong glared at him: "Buns!" I didn't bother to care about him if it was replaced. ”

Xie Whale said: "You can't ignore it. Besides, he doesn't have the ability to fight with me. ”

"Why won't his wife tell your family about this?"

Xie Whale was a little embarrassed on his face: "They ...... I want to take credit for the blue and white dinosaur......"

Jia Cong stiffened, wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, walked over and patted Xie Whale on the shoulder: "God is fair to every family, and each will be placed and distributed a second fool." Suddenly, I felt that my brother Baoyu couldn't be better. Brother Xie, you have worked hard. ”

Look at what he said seriously, Xie Whale laughed and laughed.

Jia Cong then said: "I'm about to go to King Xian's Mansion, but I want to help Ling Mei shout a grievance by the way?" ”

Xie Whale waved his hand again and again and said, "How can anyone go to the Xianwang Mansion to shout grievances for the nobles in the palace!" ”

Jia Cong blinked: "I didn't say that I wanted to shout blatantly!" ”

Xie Whale thought that he had some way to hint, so he was overjoyed, and thanked him busily, but he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly left.

Jia Cong really changed his clothes and ran to King Xian's mansion. Situ Pan was originally an idle prince who did not go to court, but he read idle books at home. Listening to the people going back and forth, Jia Sanye couldn't help but smile and said, "No one invited him to dinner today?" So he let him in.

Jia Cong bowed close with a stiff face, twisted his snack and said, "Brother Xianwang, I want to tell you something. ”

Situ Pan asked what was the matter.

He asked in a low voice, "Do you know the blue and white dinosaurs?" ”

Situ Pan glanced at him: "Do you know? ”

Jia Cong nodded, repeated the ones he broke with Xie Whale yesterday, and took out the picture from his sleeve: "I have asked someone to draw the picture, and it looks like this." There are some places that may be misremembered. ”

Situ Pan hurriedly picked it up and looked at it carefully for a long time, and also said: "It's quite honest and festive." There was a little surprise between his eyebrows, "It's like this...... Good round belly. ”

Jia Cong said: "Brother Xie's younger brother is missing, and he is also considered to be sick and rushed to the doctor, so he actually begged for my child." How can I have that ability! So I was in a hurry to draw it last night, and I wanted to show him today, but I didn't dare to show him what he could do if he could help, but he ran to say something early in the morning, and I didn't dare to show him. ”

Situ Pan smiled and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Jia Cong said word for word about Xie Guiren's threat, and finally said: "Although this thing is rare, after all, it is just a playful ornament, and it has been passed on so bizarrely, who knows what strange words are in the mouths of others?" I didn't dare show him casually. ”

Situ Pan looked at the picture and then at him, and said with a smile: "Don't pull a circle in front of me, what do you think in your heart?" Say it and I'll listen. ”

Jia Cong grimaced: "That Zhou Guiren is too bold." is also today's little wife, Xie Guiren is taller than her and is pregnant with a baby, she dares to talk like that! It's strange that Xie Guiren didn't complain, and he was still afraid! I'm afraid there's something strange about it, and I don't dare to mess around for fear of causing trouble. ”

Situ Pan looked at him and didn't speak.

"One more thing, because it's so coincidental, I don't think it's a coincidence."

Situ Pan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jia Cong sighed: "I don't know what's going on! It's just eight poles can't be beaten! And it has nothing to do with me at all! "I'm a little scared if I caused this mess by accident -- I really didn't mean to." That's why I came to find Brother Xian Wang, and told you that maybe you can know some cause and effect. ”

Situ Pan nodded and motioned for him to just speak.

Jia Cong thought for a while, grabbed the back of his head and said, "It's been so long, and I can't remember some of them clearly." On my way to Chang'an in the first month, I passed through a place called Angu County in Ping'an Prefecture shortly after leaving Beijing, do you know? ”

Situ Pan said: "I know." ”

"I saw that the place was too poor, and I had so many birthday gifts, so I lied that I was the nephew of Gao Li, the envoy of the festival of Ping'an Prefecture." He grinned, "I don't think anyone would dare rob us." I didn't want to be so unlucky, so I only stayed there for one night when I happened to meet a rich family in their county who was killed by thieves. That rich man is the uncle of Grandma Xie San. And that's not even the most coincidental. The most coincidental thing is another. ”

Situ Pan's face was already a little gloomy at this time. "What's the most coincidental thing?"

"The blue-and-white dinosaur, I heard my husband say that there are few and fewer people on the rivers and lakes who know about this thing now, and he is quite proud in his words. So I find it strange. It's clearly a green forest thing, how can the palace know about it? I thought that I was the only one who knew about the entire north side of the Yangtze River. Listening to that Xie Guiren's words, it was as if everyone knew. That one...... Later I remembered...... Angu County was too small and had no work, so he invited a Wang from the next county to conduct an autopsy. I saw that there was a lively scene, so I went together, and said something to Wang Yanzuo, and casually mentioned a sentence of 'Ming Wanli blue and white dinosaur'. ”

Situ Pan stood up with a "brush": "Have you mentioned this thing to others?" ”

Jia Cong pursed his mouth: "Say it casually, I really didn't mean it, I was laughing with him, really laughing." ”

Situ Pan's face became darker and darker, and he said for a long time: "Do you remember that case?" ”

Jia Cong nodded, and said the case according to his own position, and naturally did not mention it, because he sighed: "In the end, it is not clear." ”

Situ Pan was silent for a long time after hearing this, as if he had an understanding, his brows were sometimes twisted and sometimes relaxed, and suddenly he paced back and forth in the room. I don't know how long it took, he suddenly stopped and looked at Jia Cong and smiled: "Do you want to know what's going on?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head like a rattle: "I don't want to, I don't want to do it at all!" The ......," he asked cautiously, "I just said it casually, and I didn't bring anyone with me, did I?" ”

Situ Pan said: "No, but you helped the saint once, and you also helped me once." And you want what reward you want. ”

Jia Cong's face was overjoyed, and he immediately shook his head: "Don't be, I'm still a child, and now I'm eye-catching enough, eating and drinking every day." ”

Situ Pan remembered that he had eaten happily in the capital these days, laughed again, and reached out to stroke his head. Jia Cong then played for a while and said goodbye and went home.

I went back to the house to see Jia Yu, and said with a smile: "Dad guess what I'm doing today." ”

Jia Yucai and Gao Mang had a trick, and he fell on the rattan chair tiredly and did not move, and it took a long time before he said: "I don't care what you do, don't you just eat, drink, and hang around all day these days." ”

Jia Cong smiled and stepped forward to grab his arm and said, "Second Brother Lian has been a petty official from the fifth grade for a long time. Taking advantage of the birth of his little nephew, it would be good for him to be promoted to an official. ”

"What!" Jia Yu immediately sat up and pointed at him, "You kid make it clear!" ”

Gao Mang hurriedly said, "I'll go out and rest for a while." "Lift your leg and leave.

Jia Cong looked at Jia Yu, and Jia Yu said, "No need, you can listen to it together." ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Since Cousin Gao came, I have fallen out of favor." Jia Yu poked him on the finger.

There was no need to hide it in front of his Lao Tzu, and Jia Cong poured out all the robberies from Wu You to himself and Gong Kun. Hearing that they would order the Li County Order to repay the people's taxes with the stolen silver, Gao Mang suddenly blushed. At the end, Jia Cong said: "Judging from the days when the Zhou family was looking for dinosaurs, eighty percent were in direct contact with Wang Chengzuo. And they were secretive, so they could spread the dinosaur so outrageously. If you are willing to draw a picture openly like me, and send it directly to the Xianwang Mansion, there will be no such a thing. Gao Mang laughed again; Jia Yufang wanted to glare at him, but he also smiled. Therefore, Zhou Yan was only afraid of being suspected of marrying foreign officials. As a political envoy, he secretly married foreign officials, and this alone was enough for him to drink a pot. The befriended servants are such small officials, and they pass on the secrets of the powerful people in Beijing, and they will definitely be able to find out a lot of interesting things. ”

Jia Yu thought for a while and said, "I can't guarantee that he was originally doing things for the saint." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "That's not even better." In the palace, because of this thing, it was rumored to be a pot of porridge, and I don't believe that the saint really didn't know. Bao Qi is that he has hidden information. ”

Gao Mang said: "Maybe he thinks this doesn't matter? ”

Jia Yu snorted: "It doesn't matter whether it's important or not, this is a public weapon for private use, and it's the most important." It also spread to the palace, causing a mess in the saint's backyard. Zhou Guiren is so rampant, nine out of nine is what she Lao Tzu has leaked. He suddenly frowned, "What does this have to do with your brother?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I don't have a lot of credit, right? How does the saint reward me? ”

Jia Yu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but shoot the case: "That's right!" It is inconvenient for him to reward you, and I don't do anything in the court, so I can only promote your brother. ”

Jia Cong said: "I only got a false title for returning the treasury silver last time, and now I don't have a real one, Dad, let's not play with him." ”

Jia Yu smiled: "Even if he wants to play false, since you go to find King Xian to come forward, I guess he will not stand idly by." The virtuous king is a bit righteous. He suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, did you tell the old lady anything?" Why has she been testing me for the past few days, asking if you can find your eldest sister's in-law's house for you? ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? Nope! The exchange of favors for big sisters is all improvised. Oh, when Concubine Nan'an came, I bragged about it...... Ahh What did you say, Dad? ”

Jia Yu said: "I only said that Huo Xuan's funeral is not over, who is willing to mention this person with a head and a face?" At least, you have to avoid it for a few months. You don't want to talk nonsense in the future, you just mentioned everything casually. ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "How can there be piles and piles, at most there are two of them." ”

For a while, he and Gao Mang went back to Lixiangyuan to play, and Jia Yu ordered someone to call Jia Lian and whispered to him: "Your brother is only afraid that he has made a great contribution to the saint by mistake." It is inconvenient to publicize it, but I am afraid that the benefits will fall on you. Don't be quiet, be diligent in the yamen, and don't show your deeds. ”

Jia Lian was overjoyed and said, "Cong'er, this kid is really blessed!" I was also stumbled by mistake last time, and now it's here again. Later, he went back and said that with Sister Feng, the two of them hid in the house and had fun, counting the days together and waiting for their son.

The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch. In the Xianwang Mansion, Jia Cong went out with his front foot, and Situ Pan ordered someone to take clothes in exchange for wanting to enter the palace. After changing his clothes, he suddenly stopped moving, and stood alone at the door of the room for a long time. For a while, someone saw him stunned, and shouted "Lord Wang", only to understand, and hurriedly said, "Let's go." ”

Situ Pan entered the palace to face the saint, and he did not hide it, handed over the blue and white dinosaur picture to the saint to see, and repeated the origin of this thing that Jia Cong said.

The sage picked up the dinosaur pattern and looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said: "Although the shape of this thing is strange, the smile is lovely, if it is said that there is an auspicious meaning to send a child, I believe it." ”

Situ Pan repeated the words that followed, Xie Guiren's words and Jia Cong's experience in Angu County that day, and only stood aside with his hands down, and said no more.

The saint was stunned when he heard this. After a long time, he sighed: "Zhou Yan......" He stopped again, and only after a while: "Lao Jiu, I can't believe you......"

Situ Pan said indifferently: "I see that Xie Sanwei really doesn't know anything. Instead of interrogating him, it would be easier for the third brother to try to ask Xie Guiren. ”

It turned out that the second son of the old lady Napan in Angu County was originally a court spy. Recently, he had another letter Pegasus entering Beijing, saying that his third brother had suddenly disappeared! Coincidentally, rumors spread in the palace, all surrounding the blue and white dinosaur, and the dinosaur was rumored to belong to Xie Guiren, and the saint annoyed these women and wanted to find out. Xie Guiren was also disturbed by the inconvenience of pregnancy, so he took Xie San for interrogation. I asked these days, but I didn't ask anything.

The saint nodded: "Zhou Yan your trial." In the future, you will take his line and separate from Liu Dengxi. Someone in the palace must add fuel to the flames in this matter, so that Liu Dengxi can investigate it carefully. He picked up the dinosaur pattern again and looked at it, "Since they want it, they ordered Jingdezhen to burn it out like this, and save everyone from guessing things." ”

Situ Pan was silent for a moment and asked, "Who are his subordinates?" ”

The sage smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that you're too busy and Liu Dengxi is also old, so I ordered him to recruit some new people to find out the news for me the year before last." It's only been two years, and he is so presumptuous, where has he become a big weapon. ”

Situ Pan said: "Since I can't bear the loneliness, I can't seal my mouth tightly." Then he prostrated and took his leave.

The saint sighed, "I hope that you and my brother will be safe." ”

Situ Pan said: "The third brother is the Son of Heaven, and he has his own opinions on everything, but the younger brother is not ...... I just felt a little aggrieved in my heart. ”

The saint nodded: "You are sensible. He waved him away.

In the afternoon of the same day, Situ Pan took Zhou Yan down and interrogated him a little, and sure enough, Wang Yanzuo was his person, and the third master of the Pan family was also arrested by him, in order to force Xie Fu to ask about Xinmi.

Situ Panqi said: "Why do you want to know so much about the secrets of the Xie family? The king was placed in Ping'an Prefecture in order to listen to the deeds of Gaoli. ”

Zhou Yan said fiercely: "How can it be so coincidental? My daughter just slipped the fetus, Xie Guiren got the dragon seed, and their family had important relatives who were wiped out! ”

Situ Pan looked at him like a fool for a long time, shook his head and said, "That's it, let's talk about some side things." I'm afraid that your few people can't afford to support the days of gold and silver like your mansion......"

Xie Sanye went home the next day, covered in injuries, but he kept silent and refused to say where he had gone these days. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
